ROYERS BOOT TEK !! (PICS)

ROYERS BOOT TEK
this tek is to cover the sides of your container to stop light from getting to the sides of your sub/casing to help stop side pinning but you can still see the progress of the mycelium
i am writing this tek because i don't see much of anything for a tek to cover the sides of your sub/casing trays besides tinfoil which IMO reflects light and to tape the sides and then you cant see the mycelium colonization after spawning.
i know some people don't cover the side because they like to watch and see the mycelium colonizing after spawning and i know people that tape sides and don't worry or care what the sides look like just as long as it is covered.
but i am the one that likes to see the progress of the mycelium and also wants to cover up the sides so there is no side pinning.
so here it goes it is SO simple that anyone can do it.
i previously used foil pans but the mycelium eats right through them so now i use Tupperware containers. i have used this tek for Tupperware and rubber maid containers of all shapes and sizes!!
here are the materials needed
one Tupperware container in this case brown packing tape and duct tape
but i now use black duct tape and found it works best in place of both tapes.
first step is to take the brown packing tape and to cover the sides of the container with the sticky side out.if you take one piece that goes all the way around and stick together then i cut pieces for the top but then make sure that none of the sticky side goes against the container.it can make it very hard to get the boot on and off
then step two is to cover the brown tape that is sticky side out with the duct tape. the reason i use duct tape is because it is thick and keeps the light out and keeps the shape of the boot . i use 2-3 layers to get the boot strong.
then you are all done it is that easy and it looks nice too!!!! i slip the cover off and then make more
again as i said above i now use black duct tape in place of both tapes and it works great but these pics were from a few months ago when i was going to write this tek. another plus is that i can use these Tupperware containers for food or what ever with out taking tape off or trying to get the sticky adhesive from the tape off. and because it slides off the container it is easily washed.
now you can spawn to some substrate and then you can check how it is progressing
looks good now i am going to slide the boot back on ,case and put it in the fruiting chamber
i write the name of the strain on the out side of the boot and then when i switch to a different strain i Cross off and write the new strain and when i don't have room to write anymore i just put another layer of duct tape on the outside. it just makes it stronger!!!!
there you have it ROYERS BOOT TEK.

yes spray pain will work but i can still use these to hold left overs or what ever i want.
and with spray paint you can not see the myc colonizing which some people like to do

You can SIMPLY nest 2 trays together. With A/foil between them.
Use them double.
Or single, with just the a/foil in the tray.
Or, just go HARDCORE with busboy trays.

I can say alot of one words describing you right now but I won't....
The idea is that it is much easier to clean and see if your sub is 100%.
I know I have been cultivating for a little bit and I know royer has too, it is easier to look to see what your status is and if you have some hidden contams.

i know that will work but this is not the point of this tek. in my first sentence i said this tek is how to cover the sides to stop side pinning but to still be able to see the myc colonizing.the point is so you can see the sub colonizing because i know a bunch of people like to.

>>>>>>>the point is so you can see the sub colonizing because i know a bunch of people like to.<<<<<<<
A substrate uses sign language to TELL you it is fully colonized.
Those rhizo's are looking for more to colonize. Meaning, the substrate they are coming out of. Is fully colonized.
But, hey ...no big deal if you want to watch.

NOOOOOOOOO
Please don't say that. It is a quick way to tell for anyone in doubt.
I mean common we all don't become old hands over night. Takes some experiments and pratice.
All I can say is that people will use it and keep up the good work

sorry, didn't mean it like that. I like your idea and all. I just figured instead of all the tape, just spray up a similar container and stack em inside each other. So you can view it and keep it from light.
I'm just trying to add some insight, not degrade your work. my bad.

Hey, I did the same sort of thing, way back when.
Reality is, it works as a visual learning tool.
You did NOT waste your time.
Keep on innovating. That is how new things come about.

I like this,I do something similar,I also use duct tape but I always leave the bottom uncovered by the tape,This prevents side pinning almost completely until after a few flushes when the casings shrinks quite a bit,by leaving the bottom uncovered you can just look at the bottom of the try and see how its colonizing and since its the bottom no light gets to it to trigger pinning there anyway

also, I like the foil lining the subsrate idea (agar i know does this) so it shrinks down with the myc so as to not give side pinning.

Nice idea. I think I'm going to do something very similiar to this on my next casing. I'm still learning so I like to watch everything happen.
Thanks!

I found this tek to be great because I used to make 'holsters' in much the same way for anything from holding my remotes to the side of my bed to hiding small bongs, and pipes, and shit behind it.

that's why i do it... as well as the light thing.
And all this time! i put the tape on the tub. Makes for a messy washing. Especially in the dishwasher

thats what i do. ive had side pinning occur on opaque trays because as the substrate shrank away from the tub walls, light could sneak through.

Yea,I have had some major side pinning after a few flushes when the casing shrinks allot,sometimes they grow to be monsters though so it never bothers me none,I try to prevent it in the beginning flushes but they was I see it is after they have been fruiting good for a flush or two they deserve to be able to grow however they want

I like to do something simular...
after the mycelium has fully colonized the bulk substrate...
I duct tape a black garbage bag around the container.
